Depends on whether there are copyright restrictions written in the document.
If not, worst case would be that the copyright holder would tell us that we
have to remove the tooltips again that are cited from the document.

It's quite the same as with Qt. In the cpp source files you see that
translation relevant strings are passed with a _() function call like:
Gtk::Label entryLabel( _("Add filename extension: "), Gtk::ALIGN_RIGHT);
or
m_VirtKeybVelocityLabelDescr.set_text(_("Note-On Velocity:"));
etc.
So you add strings in the cpp source files that way in the default language
(English) which shall be translated into other languages. And then you cd into
the directory with the translation .po files and let them update with gettext:
cd /home/you/cvs/gigedit/po/
make update-po
This will merge new strings from the source files into all .po files for the
several languages. And then just open the .po file for respective language in a
text editor and write a translation in the language where there is yet just an
empty string.
There is however also a drawback compared to Qt. You don't have a convenient
GUI editor e.g. to add a tooltip. You have to add tooltips by code, like this:
#include <gtkmm/tooltips.h>
...
Gtk::Tooltips tooltips; // member variable of some widget implementation class
...
tooltips.set_tip(spinbutton, _("bla bla"));
...
tooltips.set_tip(checkbutton, _("etc pp"));
And one strange thing is, doing this for combo boxes seems not to have an
effect. So I wonder whether tooltips for combo boxes are not implemented? Or
does one have to use another approach for that?
